The Sky-Watcher GreatStart 130N-EQ2 is a Newtonian reflector telescope packaged with a sturdy equatorial mount, two plossl eyepieces, a 2X barlow lens, and planetarium software for your PC. Invented by Sir Isaac Newton, reflector telescopes provide more light gathering power per dollar than any other telescope design. With 130mm (5.1 inches) of aperture, the Sky-Watcher 130N produces images that are twice as bright as 90mm telescopes and more than four times brighter than 60mm beginner scopes. The Sky-Watcher GreatStart 130N-EQ2, with its plossl eyepieces and barlow lens serves up bright, clear images of the Moon, the planets, and even deep space objects like star clusters and galaxies. The 25mm Super Plossl eyepiece magnifies the image by 36 times; when I look at the Pleiades or Seven Sisters cluster at 36X the Sky-Watcher 130N shows me a bright open cluster with dozens of point-like stars filling the field of view.
